\"Milos\"
Milo\u0161 returns after a hiatus with a new album “Sound Of Silence” featuring classical guitar pieces and covers of Paul Simon, Leonard Cohen, Portishead.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

C<\/span>lassical guitarist Milo\u0161 should have had it all \u2014 and on the surface, he did. With a few successful and well-reviewed albums under his belt, Milo\u0161 looked to be reaching a peak in his career. An international tour had been booked for the 2017\/2018 season, with a new recording in the works.<\/p>\n

But then, the pain began. Perhaps it was the rigorous concert schedule, or the stresses of a high profile tour. The origins of the injury to his hand aren\u2019t clear, but what is certain is that the pain became worse and worse over time, to the point of being debilitating. \u201cIt was all kind of spiralling out of control,\u201d he says. \u201cI was feeling so much pain, and so much tension in my arm.\u201d<\/p>\n

It led to a realization. \u201cI can\u2019t just keep pushing.\u201d That meant cancelling the tour, a decision he didn\u2019t take lightly. \u201cI was devastated.\u201d<\/p>\n

Milo\u0161 had to concentrate on healing, and getting back to fighting form. The search took him to many doctors and medical specialists, with few concrete answers. \u201cThe more of them I saw, the more confused I was,\u201d he says. \u201cIt became this huge monster I had to fight.\u201d The struggle was both mental and physical. \u201cEverything is crumbling. It was very, very heartbreaking. For the first time in my life, I had to let go.\u201d<\/p>\n
